WAYS TO SUPPORT
How You Can Support a Local 100-Day Challenge and the Movement
We are done waiting for the system to fix itself. Across the country, frontline teams are stepping out of their silos to run 100-Day Challenges, replacing endless bureaucracy and overplanning with rapid, measurable impact for survivors of GBVF.
But these teams cannot do it alone. Whether you have time, funding, a loud voice, or a specific superpower, there is a place for you in the field.
Here are 6 ways you can jump in and back a 100-Day Challenge right now:
Resource an Existing Team
Local frontline teams are currently sprinting to fix broken systems, and they often hit roadblocks that a little outside help can instantly clear. This could look like implementation funding, offering a safe venue, providing transport for survivors, or using your influence to remove an obstacle.
How to do this:
- Drop us an email at info@theworldofimpact.org and say, “I want to back a local team.”
- Tell us what you have: your location and what you can offer (e.g., R5000 for emergency relief, printing services, or a boardroom).
- Get Matched: We will connect you directly with a local 100-Day Challenge team that urgently needs exactly what you have to offer.
Sponsor the Training of a Coach
Every successful 100-Day Challenge needs a “Master Weaver” — a trained Coach who holds the team accountable, pushes them past their comfort zones, and keeps them focused on survivor impact instead of box-ticking. You can financially sponsor the virtual training of a local community leader to become a certified 100-Day Coach.
How to do this:
- Send us an email, and we will be in contact with details within 24 hours.
Start a Challenge in Your Own Community
If your local clinic, police station, and courts are working in silos and survivors are falling through the cracks, don’t wait for head office to fix it. Launch a sprint in your own backyard.
How to do this:
- Spot the Bottleneck: Identify a specific, urgent breakdown in your community’s GBVF response (e.g., “Protection orders take too long”).
- View the Kit: Go through the free 100-Day Challenge Start-up Kit.
- Assemble the Doers: Gather a small group of frontline workers (not the bosses, the people doing the daily work).
- Email Us at info@theworldofimpact.org. Reach out to our team to request a Coach to help you launch your Day 1 workshop or to become a coach yourself. We will share the available Sprint cycles for the year.
Be a Loudspeaker (Media & GBVF Forums)
The 100-Day Challenge approach thrives when people stop talking about activities and start demanding impact. We need people to champion this approach in boardrooms, community forums, and the media.
How to do this:
- Get the Media Pack: Download our one-pager and explainer video [Insert Link].
- Hijack the Agenda: At your next local GBVF forum, steering committee, or NGO meeting, put the 100-Day approach on the agenda as a proven alternative to standard project management.
- Share the Wins: Follow us on social media and share the local team victories on your own feeds, local radio stations, or WhatsApp community groups.
- Join the newsletter database: keep up-to-date with the latest 100-Day developments, updates and general news. Share this monthly feature with you network.
Recruit Communities and Coaches
Know a district that is ripe for change? Know a local leader who is stubborn, action-oriented, and frustrated with red tape? We need you to act as a talent scout to find our next wave of challengers and coaches.
How to do this:
- Identify the Spark: Think of that one person or local NGO that gets things done despite the system.
- Send the Pitch: Forward them the link to our website with a note: “I saw this and immediately thought of how you operate. You need to look into this.”
- Make the Intro: Connect them directly with our coordination team via email so we can invite them to our next open briefing session.
Offer Pro-Bono "Superpowers" (Our Bonus Idea!)
Sometimes, a team of nurses and police officers just needs someone who knows how to build a quick Jotform, crunch some Excel data, or design a flyer for a rapid awareness campaign. You can donate 2-3 hours of your specific professional skills to a team that is stuck.
How to do this:
- Join the Roster: Fill out our “Pro-Bono Superpower” form.
- List your Skill: Tell us what you are great at (e.g., legal advice, graphic design, data analysis, logistics).
- Wait for the Signal: When a team hits a roadblock that requires your exact skill set, a Coach will reach out to you for a quick, high-impact virtual session.
